Thread: Sun July 17th - Sat July 23rd

Pre-Shave: Hot Shower

Brush: Omega Pure Badger

Razor:Bengall near wedge with horn scales

Strop: SRD Linen and Red Latigo

Creme: UBERLATHER of MWF/TOBS Sandalwood/6 drops of Glycerine

Astringent Alum Bloc

After Shave: Nivea

Cologne: Trumpers Spanish Leather

Results: I spent several hours sanding the rust and grime off the blade of this ebay purchase. The blade isn't pretty but I got a nice, sharp edge on my Nortons last night. I got a BBS shave with no irritation after 3 passes. I wouldn't say she's perfect, but its my best effort yet with a wedge. I always assumed my beard would like wedges, but I think the more hollow the blade, the happier my skin it seems.

Tuesday Night

Joseph Elliot Wedge - NF2213 - Boots Cool Cologne Cream - Alum - Witch Hazel - Aquatonic AS


Very Nice!

Cool Shower tonight with Stephan's Rubbed into my beard
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Nancy Boy Cucumber SC/Glycerine
New Forest Badger
Robert Williams 1/4 hollow Damascus in Ivory
SRD P1 Strop 100 laps
AOS Aluminum
Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
Vaseline for men

For the second time in as many nights, I used this razor. The shave was impeccable. The Nancy Boy Cucumber provides a nice aroma while shaving and the Bay Rum always is nice. I never post the Vaseline for men but I have to say I end every shave and shower with the stuff. My skin just absorbs it quickly and it leaves a soothing feeling. I highly recommend it for the "finisher."

Enjoy the evening.

On the contrary - I find it ravishing. I absolutely love the patina on both the horn and the tail.

Acca Kappa 1869/La Toja-Timor 6/8-Franks Silvertip

DFS today. sorry I was late with the post but running around all day with life stuff! I'm still needing some more use with the Acca Kappa to see how I like it but the scent was different. Mossy addition to the La Toja.

Did you get strange looks, LOOOL? At least it was with a DE. I wonder what reaction you'd elicit pulling out a straight razor?

I would hate to see what you would name it if he was a bull dog/shih tzu mix (Bull Shit maybe, LOOOOOL)?

Congrats Rene...She finally worked her charm on you, eh? You're just powerless against women, LOOOL. I think you made the right choice buddy.

Fromm 15/16

Rene,
She's a beauty. If I recall, you got this Fromm from the same guy I got my Klopp. She beat your Fili????...Holy Cr*p. This has to be a first. I didn't think anything would beat a Fili.

Thank you Robert. Yes i could not resist the Fromm red head! Bull shit is a good name. Appropriate for some of the stuff i have to put up with.

Yes this was bought from the same guy on ebay. So glad they were not his size of choice.

I have to say it has been a VERY long time since 2 passes left nothing to touch up. Usually i have a little under the chin and jaw line. Ahhhhh!!!!!! Such a great feeling!

Oh yes the bathroom smelled like Farts. Monkey farts that is. Gassy little buggers!

I would love to hear your experiences with yours down the line. I have the tub version and love it. One of the best top 5 cremes out there for sure.

LMAO Robert I'm gone for a weekend and I've turned into Sten again!!!!! No worries bud just pulling your chain!
On the AK, It came out like a gel. Definately did not look like any other creme I have used before. I'm going to try it again with just it to see what it does. I liked the scent it lended to the LT though.
